 rfvizarra | In reply to @adham-omran:matrix.orgIn your experience, what makes a DAW better than another one? I'm so new to this I don't have a minimal criteria to compare them | 08:58:03 |
 bandithedoge | In reply to @adham-omran:matrix.orgit's not too bad, the official manual is pretty good but in general i've found zrythm to be a lot more intuitive than ardour if you've used other daws | 08:58:54 |
| bandithedoge | In reply to @rfvizarra:matrix.orgreally it all comes down to what gets you to your desired result the quickest | 08:59:26 |
| bandithedoge | there's no "best" daw for everyone so just ignore the holy daw wars that producers love | 08:59:52 |
| rfvizarra | I guess that in my case having an intuitive interface will help to reach my goal | 09:00:39 |
 adham | In reply to @rfvizarra:matrix.org Documentation and tutorials are a massive comparison point for a new-comer, being older leads them to being more mature and having a more robust community. Every DAW is different, for what you spoke about as a use case, REAPER will get you what you want the quickest, nothing beats double clicking to add a track, load a plugin, arm the track with your midi controller and have at it My advice is to start with REAPER, check its extensive tutorials over at reaper.fm, and if after a week you want to check something else, hop and try to redo your workflow and see which you like best | 09:00:56 |
| bandithedoge | try out a bunch of daws and see which workflow works for you best, just don't turn it into a religion | 09:01:58 |
| bandithedoge | reaper is often considered a good beginner's daw but it has a great scripting engine with a big community | 09:03:55 |
| bandithedoge | (plus you can use all of its features for free if you don't mind waiting 5 seconds to close the dialog box) | 09:04:32 |
| rfvizarra | Cool!, I have some thing to try and learn!. Thank you guys for your help! | 09:05:48 |
| rfvizarra | I'm going to try Reaper, Ardour and zrythm | 09:06:29 |
| bandithedoge | have fun then | 09:06:50 |
| bandithedoge | also check out unfa's youtube channel, he has a lot of great tutorials for ardour and linux audio in general | 09:07:20 |
| adham | Have fun, as bandithedoge , experiment and try them all, I recommend for a week each to give it a fair chance and enjoy your time! | 09:08:35 |

| rfvizarra | Thank you!! | 09:09:03 |
| rfvizarra | In reply to @bandithedoge:matrix.orgLot's of interesting video titles... This is going to be a rabbit hole | 09:10:48 |
 람퍼이나 | if you just want to open pianoteq as a plugin you could also use carla | 09:11:00 |
| 람퍼이나 | no need for a DAW to just play | 09:11:13 |
| bandithedoge | In reply to @rfvizarra:matrix.orgjust like nix... you'll learn to love it though | 09:11:29 |
| rfvizarra | In reply to @rampoina:matrix.orgDidn't know that. Thanks for the hint! | 09:11:52 |
| bandithedoge | In reply to @rampoina:matrix.orgnot sure about pianoteq but many plugins also have standalone versions | 09:12:07 |
| rfvizarra | Pianoteq has a standalone application, but it doesn't run under NixOS | 09:12:32 |
| 람퍼이나 | yeah but the lv2 was suggested to make it easier | 09:12:39 |
| rfvizarra | that I why I was looking for to install the Pianoteq Nixos package | 09:12:48 |
| rfvizarra | * that is why I was looking for to install the Pianoteq Nixos package | 09:13:12 |
| bandithedoge | In reply to @rfvizarra:matrix.orgdynamically linked executables compiled by someone else won't "just work" on nixos | 09:13:43 |
| rfvizarra | That I learnt the ward way :D | 09:14:16 |
| bandithedoge | take a look at https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Binaries | 09:14:49 |
| bandithedoge | i recommend https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien if you just want to quickly run something | 09:15:29 |
